In the Shell gasification process, coal is crushed and dried and then fed into the Shell gasifier as a dry feed. The gasifier, as shown in Fig. 36, is an oxygen-blown, water-wall gasifier eliminating refractory durability issues. It is good for a wide variety of feedstocks, from pet coke to low-rank coals, and has been run on biomass as well.

The underground coal gasification (UCG) process represents a modern and effective coal mining technology that enables coal energy extraction through thermic decomposition. The coal is transformed into syngas by oxidizers (e.g., air, technical oxygen, or water steam) and is injected into a georeactor. The produced syngas is exhausted on …

Coal Gasification Process. During gasification, oxygen and steam (water vapour) are blown through the coal while it is still being heated (and in a few cases pressurised as well). "Allothermal" refers to a procedure in which the coal is heated by external heat sources, whereas "autothermal" refers to a process in which the coal is ...

Coal utilization - Gasification: While the goal of combustion is to produce the maximum amount of heat possible by oxidizing all the combustible material, the goal of gasification is to convert most of the combustible solids into combustible gases such as carbon monoxide, hydrogen, and methane. During gasification, coal initially undergoes devolatilization, …

Subsequently, during Apartheid in South Africa, gasification was used as a process for the production of hydrocarbons from coal, using the Fischer–Tropsch (FT) process. After the oil crisis in 1973, there was an interest to develop new forms of energy that could offer an alternative to the use of oil; mainly focused on the production of gas ...

With the help of Aspen Plus, the ninth paper developed a two-dimensional unsteady CFD model to simulate the coal gasification process in a fixed bed gasifier. A developed and validated two …

Gasification technology is presented from a historical perspective considering early uses of coal, the first practical demonstration and utilization of coal gasification, and the evolution of the ...

Gasification of coal is a process whereby coal is converted to a syngas, which is predominately a mixture of carbon monoxide and hydrogen. As shown schematically in Fig. 16.1, syngas is a precursor to an extensive range of energy and chemical products: ...

Even slag, a glasslike byproduct of the gasification process, can be used in roofing materials or as a roadbed material. ... Coal gasification is sometimes called "clean coal" because it can be used to generate electricity without belching toxins and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. But it's still based on a nonrenewable fossil fuel.

Coal gasification technology is the conversion of a carbonaceous material by reaction with oxygen and steam to produce synthesis gas (syngas) that is a feedstock to produce more valuable and higher quality liquid fuels such as diesel and kerosene. During gasification there are hundreds of simultaneous reactions taking place. However, the …

Gasification is a partial oxidation process. The term partial oxidation is a relative term which simply means that less oxygen is used in gasification than would be required for combustion (i.e., burning or complete oxidation) of the same amount of fuel. Gasification typically uses only 25 to 40 percent of the theoretical oxidant (either pure oxygen or air) …

Most current technologies of coal gasification such as entrained flow, fluidized bed, and moving bed use a surface reactor for gasification. The main differences between these technologies relate to the gas flow configuration, coal particle size, ash handling, and process conditions [3].An alternative for surface gasifier is an …

The temperature is very important for catalytic coal gasification, which affects many gasification characteristics, including coal property, catalyst property (evaporation, melting, and reaction with ash), reaction process (reaction rate, rate-limiting step, mass and heat transfer), and product properties (gas composition, CO 2 capture …

As the leading industry of coal chemical industry, Coal gasification plays an important role in efficient and clean utilization of coal. It is a process in which solid fuels such as coal, coke, or semi-coke react with gasifying agents under high temperature and pressure to produce gaseous products and a certain amount of slag (Aprianti et al., …

The E-Gas™ gasification process is similar to the GE gasification except for the two-stage slurry feed system. Roughly 75% of the slurry feed and all of the O 2 are sent to the bottom (first) stage of the gasifier where the highly exothermic gasification/oxidation reaction takes place at high temperature. Hot syngas from first stage is mixed ...

The figure of gasification reactions and transformations illustrated the concept of coal gasification, and noted resulting composition of syngas.
